  [S282] Wikipedia: Fastrada, Fastrada. Fastrada (765 – 10 August 794) was queen consort of East Francia by marriage to Charlemagne, as his third wife. Fastrada was born circa 765 at Ingelheim, the daughter of the powerful East Frankish Count Rudolph (also called Eadolf), and his wife, Aeda. Fastrada became the third wife of Charlemagne,[1] marrying him in October 783 at Worms, Germany, a few months after Queen Hildegard’s death. A probable reason behind the marriage was to solidify a Frankish alliance east of the Rhine when Charles was still fighting the Saxons. Due to her influence, Charlemagne's son by Himiltrude, Pepin the Hunchback, was publicly tonsured after an attempted rebellion against his father. During their marriage, Charlemagne's fair ruling greatly declined. She was greatly despised by all of the other children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fastrada [S278] Wikipedia: Charlemagne, Emperor Charlemagne. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne
